Desktop management at any scale is a tedious job. Imaging, reimaging, and troubleshooting desktop systems consume valuable IT resources, and keep employees from being productive. Securing the information generated on desktops, tablets, and smartphones is no simple job either. Many organizations are deploying virtual desktop infrastructures (VDI) for these reasons. But for deployment to be successful, computing and storage infrastructures must deliver high-quality, predictable, and productive user experiences. Often, the best way to accomplish this is through flash-based storage solutions due to its low latency/high IOPS nature. Unfortunately many IT professionals aren't sure what type of flash array is best for their needs or how to ensure that all elements of their VDI work seamlessly. Download now and learn how to validate a provide VDI configuration across NexGen N5 Hybrid Flash Array, VMWare Horizon View, Cisco Unified Computing System™(UCS), and Cisco Nexus Switches.

If your company is using cloud computing services today, it’s highly likely you are already in a hybrid cloud configuration. The key question is whether you are actively managing this reality. In January 2014, HP commissioned Forrester Consulting to evaluate the state of enterprise hybrid cloud environments and how they are being managed. Forrester developed a hypothesis that tested the assertion that enterprise IT operations teams struggle to recognize and manage this hybrid state — a hypothesis that was proven out.

Organizations have a serious “people problem” when it comes to securing networks. It’s time to address the bad habits of all users that have a hand in nearly every major data breach. Read this white paper to explore the issue and the solution to your cybersecurity “people problem.”

What do Star Trek and Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) have in common? Apart from each being a bold adventure, both have experienced a rebirth as a next generation. In recent reports, Mint Jutras describes the next generation of ERP in terms of new technology that enables: new ways of engaging with ERP custom configuration without programming more innovation better integration

The release of Android for Work, combined with the enterprise upgrades in Lollipop, delivers an outstanding opportunity for companies that have long waited to support Android devices as part of their BYOD mix.

For most organizations, compliance is a bottomless pit of cost and effort. Too many infrastructure components and configuration points, too much data and too many places to put it—there are just too many places for threats to hide.In this session, Forrester Vice President and Principal Analyst Andras Cser shares how to prioritize security and compliance efforts. Specific topics include: - How your auditors are behaving; - Why risk-based prioritization is the only way to find threats; - The importance of context; - Forrester’s recommendations and best practices. Watch this webcast and learn how to make your organization’s journey to the cloud as safe as possible.

This planning and implementation guide discusses planning topics, architectural considerations, and configuration steps relevant before and after launching the necessary AWS services such as Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) and Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) to run a high-availability and site-resilient Exchange architecture.

IT organizations are looking to leverage automation to improve the delivery of business services across the enterprise, while reducing costs. Automation can be implemented in many ways; however, today’s enterprise demands a higher level of sophistication than simple scripts. This whitepaper from Stratavia discusses the key aspects of automated server provisioning that every CIO should know.

Configuration ports on critical and non-critical cyber assets are often misunderstood and overlooked in the overall cyber security strategy.

Now smart CISOs are looking to lockdown the enterprise to achieve continuous compliance and narrow the breach-to-detection gap with baseline controls in configuration and change management.

New network vulnerabilities appear constantly and the ability for IT security professionals to handle new flaws, fix misconfigurations and protect against threats requires constant attention. However, with shrinking budgets and growing responsibilities, time and resources are at constrained. Therefore, sifting through pages of raw vulnerability information yields few results and makes it impossible to accurately measure your security posture.
